I want to install sensors-applet onto my Ubuntu 12.04 computer. The instructions on this (and other) webpages says to enter this command in a command terminal:
sudo apt-get install sensors-applet
This is a gnome applet and gnome isn't exactly obscure. Why can sensors-applet package not be found?
Before you say "no", note that I was able to execute "gnome-panel" to add a bar/panel along the bottom of my desktop, add 8 cpu-frequency applets to the bar (one per CPU core), and add gnome-panel to my startup applications. So I've already done the basics, and believe all I need now is to be able to download and install the sensors-applet to have that temperature applet available on the panel too. See here.

The
sensors-appletpackage is not available in the 12.04 repositories. As a matter of fact, it is not even in 11.10.The last release that had it was 11.04.
